The Clinical Nutrition program began in traditional format in 1985 and transitioned online in 2007. Coursework integrates biomedical and nutrition sciences to enhance knowledge of medical nutrition therapy. The program is 36 credits and students may take up to five years to complete the program as pace is individually tailored to student needs and time constraints.

Full-time faculty have years of experience teaching nutrition and working in many different clinical settings. As the program is online, part-time distinguished faculty members from across the country are also employed.

Students learn through Web-based coursework that includes much interaction among instructor and classmates. Students are expected to log on to courses at least three times per week at their convenience, saving the expense and time of commuting. As students are able to attend no matter where they reside, student experience is enhanced by contact with others from diverse backgrounds who reside across the US and internationally.
